Learning about the world: exploration and inquiry, knowledge and understanding, executive function

We focus on:

The Unique Child: Curro Castle Brackenfell recognises that every child is a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.

Positive Relationships:The children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and or a key person (educator).

Learning and Development: Our children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates and all areas of learning and development are equally important and are inter-connected.

Enabling Environments: Our environment plays a key role in supporting and extending a child’s development and learning.

At Curro Castle Brackenfellwe strive to optimise learning by young brains and to capitalise on the potential for learning that children have from a young age.We therefore pay special attention to the theories of teaching and the science behind how we develop to ensure that our children receive the best education possible.

Children extend their boundaries of understanding by working to find solutions in an environment where dialogue between educators and children keeps them motivated, stimulating their creativity while developing their cognitive abilities.The curriculum includes LEGO Education learning concepts, and the activities built around soft bricks form the important early foundations for later robotics studies.

At Curro Castle Brackenfell the emphasis is on the uniqueness of each child. According to the Curro schools philosophy, every child is regarded as a competent learner from birth. We know that children develop and learn in different ways and at different paces. All areas of development and learning are equally important and inter-connected.

Theme teaching and meaningful excursions extend our young learners on a cognitive and social level.

Progress reports regarding your little one’s growth and development are sent out at the end of the 2nd and 4th terms.
